• Excited to build, adapt, and execute in a growing startup


• Willingness to travel as needed

• Experience supporting enterprise sales teams through field programs or account-based marketing initiatives


• Familiarity with HubSpot, CRM platforms, and marketing automation tools


• Experience working with agencies, production vendors, and external event partners


• Strong instincts for event content capture and storytelling across social and digital channels


• Experience measuring and communicating event ROI and pipeline impact

Compensation & Benefits

The salary range for this position is $110,000 to $130,000 annually. Final compensation will be based on experience, skills, and qualifications. This role may also be eligible for performance-based bonus and equity.

Gradial offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, unlimited PTO, team lunches, yearly events, company retreats and more.

• Embrace AI as a core tool for problem-solving, creativity and scale.


• Show a strong work ethic, high ownership and bias toward action.


• Communicate clearly, directly and with curiosity.


• Thrive in fast-paced, hyper-growth environments where building better > maintaining status quo.

AI Literacy & Interviewing Tools

As an AI-first company, we prioritize AI literacy as a core competency in our hiring decisions. We’re excited by candidates who thoughtfully apply AI tools in their work, but during interviews we’re focused on you. This is your opportunity to show how you think, communicate, and solve problems. Over-reliance on AI-generated responses during the interview process (especially when it obscures your own voice) will result in disqualification. We want to understand your unique perspective and how you approach challenges, both with and without AI.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity


• Comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage


• Fast-paced environment with flexibility and ownership


• Real impact, zero bureaucracy


• A front-row seat to building category-defining AI infrastructure

Gradial is dedicated to creating an environment where diverse perspectives are valued and all team members can grow. We offer competitive compensation, equity, flexible work hours, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative culture focused on learning and impact.
